Saying "brethren"

 Monday, April 11, 2016
May I bring to your notice that the word "brethren" is plural, lest you continue to think it is singular, and saying "brethrens" as its plural. This implies that a single person cannot be called "brethren", just like "brethren" doesn't exist as plural. NB: Every time you say "brethren", a plural verb is used. e.g. The brethren are still expecting the pastor to arrive. I hope this is clear enough?
